The dragon stirred its wings and scurried out of the smoke-filled pit, staying a few dozen meters in the sky and looking at the few remaining spellcasters with his fierce dragon eyes indifferently.
"How ... how ... how could this happen?" One spellcaster was horrified.
"Why is this evil dragon not dead? And ... he doesn't even look injured from this fall? This ... can't be ... absolutely impossible!"
Another spellcaster backed away in some fear.
"An illusion! It's an illusion! I must have overspent my magic and am hallucinating! That's right! That must be it!"
It was the spellcasters watching from the side, each one horrified beyond belief.
"Stupid spellcasters! Already too frightened to accept reality? Then let me send you to hell myself!"
The dragon roared low, gently stirred its wings and slowly rose into the air.
This action immediately reminded the spellcasters of the horrific scene of the meteorite that had just fallen from the sky, and made their bodies tremble with fear.
The initial attack and defence against the horrific impact had consumed too much of their magic power.
At this moment, they realised that it might be difficult for them to survive from their opponents' hands ...
Why did it all turn out like this?
At the beginning, they had the upper hand! Twenty spellcasters had pinned down the huge dragon in front of them, but just the next moment, a dozen of them had fallen.
Even they ... had very little magic power left ...
"Why! Tell me why!"
Suddenly, one of the remaining spellcasters, a bald-headed spellcaster, looked at the dragon and let out a loud roar.
He was covered in filth and stained with blood from a caster who had not been far from him just then!
The caster was not as strong as he was and his shields were destroyed in the impact, splattering him with blood.
It made him look extremely wretched, and his expression was somewhat broken.
"Why did you possess such terrible power! But you didn't use it in the first place! You bastard! Are you teasing us?"
The bald caster shouted.
Obviously if he had used this move at the beginning, he would have had a lot of magic power left over to use to escape ...
"..."
The dragon that slowly rose into the air heard the roar, paused for a moment, and finally swept its crimson dragon eyes lightly over his body, saying somewhat carelessly.
"Are you an idiot? What kind of dragon would seriously compete with a bunch of mere ants?
But I must admit that I have underestimated you, you are not a bunch of ants.
Rather, you are a bunch of little creepy crawlies with some strength, and for that reason.
Me! Rand Sapphius Oakburn, naturally, will also bring out his true power!
And you, for that, should be honoured!"
"Damn you! How dare you look at us like we're little reptiles! Reptiles! We are noble spellcasters! You evil dragon don't look down on people!"
A spellcaster was furious beyond words.
But immediately a look of frustration appeared again.
He looked at the huge dragon still rising into the air and suddenly shouted
"Run! Everyone split up and flee! Flee back to Grimm City! Get more spellcasters to deal with this evil dragon!"
With that, he began to run wildly without looking back, and several other spellcasters froze, each choosing a direction to escape.
"Oh? It seems not so stupid!"
The dragon stopped rising and, with a flash of its gaze, swooped down towards one of the mages!
Whew! Hoo! Hoo!
The sound of the wind reached the caster's ears from behind, causing him to pale furiously and, lifting what magic he had left, he teleported a short distance and appeared a dozen metres away.
As a result, the dragon spun around quickly and charged at him again!
Just when he thought he was dead, the dragon swept right over his head and he was overjoyed.
The next moment!
Pang!!!
But the dragon's tail struck him hard!
With a loud bang, the caster burst into pieces like a watermelon! He was reduced to a mist of blood!
Two of the spellcasters turned their heads from time to time as they were running away and saw this scene.
They were so frightened that they fell to their feet and continued to run away!
With a roar, the dragon headed for the two spellcasters!
Like an urchin, one tail at a time, the two spellcasters were quickly sent to hell to meet the devil!
At this point, only the last caster was still alive!
The dragon turned his head, ready to kill him, when he found that he was gone!
The dragon, however, was not angry with him, but flew two hundred metres to the north-west, before landing on the ground.
He looked at a small hole in the ground and smiled mockingly.
"Stupid! You still want to use the earth shaping spell to dig a hole in the ground to escape? Then you'll have to run away!"
The dragon took a deep breath and opened its mouth to spit out a torrent of flame!
Hoo!!!
While tens of meters around it turned into a sea of fire, countless flames poured in along this small hole!
Just like that for 5 seconds ...10 seconds ...15 seconds ...20 seconds ...30 seconds ...
Thirty metres behind the dragon, the ground squirmed and a sturdy figure crawled out of it in disarray!
After that, he tried to escape without saying a word!
But at that moment the dragon stopped spewing its flames and turned to look at him with a playful smile.
"A mole under the ground cannot withstand the fire after all! As an ant, have you ever felt the freedom of the sky?"
The dragon's wings rose and he quickly pursued the caster!
As he approached, he caught him in his claws!
"Damn you, dragon! What are you trying to do to me?" The caster was in a state of shock and anger.
"Come with me! Dance in the sky! Feel the passion at four hundred kilometres an hour! Caster! This is a special boon!"
"Damn you! You don't even have to do that! Do you think I don't know how to fly? Let me go! Let me go!"
The caster raged, struggling uncontrollably.
But his arms were also firmly grasped by the dragon, and such a struggle would only cause him more pain!
Hoo! Whir!
The wind howled in his ears.
The caster saw himself soaring higher and higher, and a wave of fear washed over him for no apparent reason!
Soon, they broke through the clouds!
They came to the beautiful world above the clouds, but they did not have a moment to admire it.
With a graceful whirl, the dragon swooped down towards the ground!
"No! No! No! You can't do this! Let me go! Let me go!"
The caster seemed to have an extremely bad feeling at this moment and yelled out in fear.
But soon.
"Oooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
His head fell towards the ground at breakneck speed, and the terrifying wind pressure poured into his mouth and nose, turning the words he shouted into a whimpering sound.
At this moment, the wind was howling in his ears, and he could barely open his eyes, leaving only a slit to look at the world outside!
Everything on the ground, which had been as small as a mole, began to expand rapidly, and fear instantly wrapped itself around his entire body!
Until he was only about a hundred metres from the ground!
The fear was almost material! It made him use all his strength and let out a final hiss of.
"No !!!!"
